ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS AND
OTHER SCIENTIFIC WORK.

Professor w. d. Alexander and Mr..
z. d. Preston, of the United States
Coast Survey, proceeded to Pearl Har-
Dor yesterday by the Government tug
Pele, which was placed at their disposal
by His Excellency the Minister of the
Interior. They will probably be absent
four or five days. during which interval
they will endeavor to determine the ex-
act Latitude OF the island of Oahu by a
series Of observations upon twenty-four
pair of stars. Should fine weather con-
tinue there can be no doubt OF the abso-
Lutte success of these observations. A
pier has been constructed near the salt
works, inside Pearl Harbor, where the
observations Will be taken.
Great scientific interest attaches to
this work, as also to the pendulum ex-
periments which Mr.. Preston will con-
duct when his astronomical observa-
tons are finished. 1t win he remem-

Giffin. [ gave him commission as
special police officer His name did not
appear on the pay roll at the Station
House. xamined-McGiftin was
engaged in opium cases; also IN other
cases. He had given information to the
Attorney General which was very yalu-
able. He was paid by the Attorney
General, but in what form [ do not
know. | think his salary was charged
to incidentals l could not say that he
received most OF his pay from opium
cases. Capt. O'Connor first told me
about McGifin / had no knowledge OF
his character at the time | appointed
him. His commission was cancelled
some time before l went out of office. l
do not remember authorizing him to 60
to McChesney's house to search.
This concluded the evidence for the
defense. The Court took a recess until
l o'clock.
On resuming, Mr.. Creighton COM
menced his argument for the defense.
The evidence of Harry McChesney, he
said, had not been corrobOrated in any
material point, therefore the jury could
not convict on the evidence of an accom-
plice not corroborated. He reviewed
the whole OF the evidence, pointing out
TO the jury discrepancies, and looked
upon the case as a McChesney con-
spiracy. In conclusion he asked the
jury to acquit the prisoner. Mr.
Creighton spoke one hour and twenty
five minutes.
The Attorney General, on behalf OF
the Crown, argued that the evidence Of
Harry McChesney had been corroborated
on material points by independent wit
nesses. He spoke for half an hour.
The Chief Justice charged the jury at
some length. If the jury found that the
evidence of McChesney had been cor
roborated materially, then they should
find the defendant guilty OF receiving
stolen property. His Honor was very
explicit in propounding the law to the
jury.
AT 10 minutes past O'Clock the jury
retired to consider their verdict Seven
minutes later they brought in unani-
nous verdict, finding the defendant
guilty of receiving stolen property over
the value of 500.
Mr.. Creighton noted exceptions to the
verdict as contrary to law and the evil
dence.
McGiffin was then removed and sent on
the reef. He is an old jail bird, having
been on the reef several years for i'm
plication in robbery at laundry He
was also mixed up in the theft of a
canoe. How he came to be COM
missiOned police officer with such a
record is a mystery that good many
people in this community would like
cleared up.
The punishment prescribed for receiv-
ing stolen property over the value OF
800 is imprisonment at hard labor not
| exceeding five years and fine of $500.

PEOPLE DEMAND PR0TECTION-PAT-
ENT MEDICINES.

What are they? As general thing they
are prescriptions having been used with
great success by old and we'll read phys
clans. Thousands of invalids have been
unexpectedly cured by their use, and they
are the wonder and dread Of physicians and
medical colleges IN the Z. S., so much so,
that physicians graduating at medical col
legeS are required to discountenance proprl-
etary medicines, as through theD' the coun-
try doctor loses his most profitable practice.
AS manufacturer of proprietary medicines,
DR.. G. G. Green, of Woodbury., n j., adro-
Gates most cordially,-in order to preTent
the risk that the sick and afflicted are EGbie
to, almost daily by tae use OF patent med
icines put out by inexperienced persons Tor
agerandizcment only, aad the employing
of inexperienced and incompetent doctors
BY which almost every village and town IS
cursed; and men claiming TO be doctors who
had better be undertahers, experimenting
with their patients and robbing them Of
their money and hes!th,-for the good of the
afflicted that our government protects its
people by making laws to regulate tae prac-
tice of medicine by better experienced and
more thoroughly educated Physicians, and
thereby keep up the honor and credit OF the
profession, also form laws for the recording
Of recipes of proprietary medicines, under
examination and decision Of experienced
chemists and physicians appointed fer that
purpose by the Government, before they are
licensed for general use He would most
freely place the recipe of Boschee's German
Syrup and Green's August Flower under
such laws, had he the proper protection, and
thereby save the prejudice Of tie people,
and avoid the competition and imitation OF
worthless medicines Copied from The Ctica-

It is gratifying to learn that so ma
nv of the teachers of the county will
attend the normal institute in Sumter
next week, beginning on Monday. The
efforts of the School Commissioners
of the two counties in perfecting the
arrangements for the Institute, deserve
the plaudit of well done from all, and
especially from the teachers; and the
highest compliment the teachers can
pay to the labors of the Commission
ers is to attend the Institute. It is
for the teachers and for them solely,
and therefore, unless they are present
at its meetings, and profit thereby,
the Institute will be q signal failure.
Never at any other time in our histo-
ry, has the public mind been more IN
terested in the common cause OF free
school education than now. The pub
lie money is being spent to improve
and elevate the teachers, and they owe
it to their counties, their patrons, and
above all, their pupils, to take every
advantage of the means now being
provided for their enlightenment All
who possibly can, should attend the
Institute next week. It will be week
most proftably spent, with but little
cost. The Williamsburg Star and Her
old speaking of the union between
Clarendon and Sumter to hold these
annual institutes says
1t is to be hoped the scheme will be entire
II successful, for the step is progressive-ln
the right direction. Teaching is q profess
sion, and needs to be studied as a science.
New methods are displacing old ones and
the teacher who is ambitious to succeed must
keep up with the march Of innovation and
progress. Attending one of these Institutes
and earnestly engaging in its exercises IS
very helpful to the teacher Of the common
school. Like one who ascends hill, he
gets better and more extensive view of the
Surroundings. His ambition is aroused by
the clearer idea given Of the Importance OF
his work, and his thought IS stimulated by
the new methods presented and the discus
,sions and lectures be hears.

The late appalling railroad accident
graphically described on this fourth
page, eclipses all the horrible catastro-
phes known in the history of Ameri-
can railroads. The latest accounts put
the total number of deaths at l56.
The most revolving part OF this dread
full calamity is that men, OF rather
Hends incarnate, banded together and
entered into a systematic robbery OF
the dead, and living wounded. 1t is
too incredulous to believe. that their
are tends in human shape, to prey
upon the property of the dead and
living people amidst a scene so ha:-
rowing. 1t is believed that the trestle
was set fire to, to ,freck the train for
the purpose of robbs7y, and an arrest
has been made of man suspicloned.

PoSoLA, Aug. y, 1887.

MIR. ED1Toa: Over 6 week OF con-
slant work OF supervision on the pub
lie highways of Friendship township,
with not single day OF rest or recre-
alton, afforded me a fine preparation
for tie full enjoyment OF my trip to
Wedgefeld on the 9th Of August. A
special invitation by Captain Brown
to accompany the Panola base ball:sts
to Wedgefeld was accepted, with
pleasure, for many reasons, not the
least OF which was my desire to look
upon the famous farming lands in that
part OF the State. Wedgefeld is a
very progressing village; strictly tenn
perate and religious. I suppose vlsl-
icrs upon first view, would clam
much for it in the way of looks. We
beheld as fine farming lands as can be
found anywhere. These are fine cot
ton farms. The character Of the soil
and the lay of the land indicate this
at glance. The original forest show
a luxurious growth of oak, hickory
and, pine. The soil is red loan: The
ground is level or gently undulatlns;
the fields are immense, almost rivallnS
the prairies of the west in extent. Mr.:
James Aycock is the most typical and
extensive farmer We saw. He plants
six hundred acres Of cotton and tive
hundred acres of corn. We boarded
the fast train at Sumter, and with such
rapid transit cannot tell nothing of the
crops between Sumter and Wedge
6ela. You scarcely have time to seat
yourself comfortable before the whls-
lie reminds you Of the place OF your
designation.
The Panolas arrived in Wedgefeld
at II o'clock They were cordially
received by Messrs. ". T. Aycoch
and S. L. Harvin. They had long
tedious and tiresome journey OF "a
miles of wagon travel. Rooms had
been engaged by the committee with
every comfort, above the large store OF
Mr. AycocE, which gave rest and nerve
for the evening battle. Every atten-
ton was shown the visiting clubs and
what capped the climax, a grand din
ner was set in the Academy building,
and each one labored with the utmost
zeal to satisfy the shortcomings OF a
keen appetite.
At 8 o'clock the teams left for the
diamond in conveyances provided by
the Wedgefelds; the local club We're
uniformed in white; the Panolas wore
blue. No occasion presented more
brilliant display. On reaching the
base ball grounds, the general appear
ance of spectators gave lite to the oc-
casion. The beautiful ladies so inthus-
ed the Panolas, that they thought de-
feat would be a serious calamity, and
the struggle was the more determined
on their part. The Wedgefeld's are
q handsome set of young men, athletic,
strong, and muscular. They, if prop
erly managed, can make themselves
the equals of many other clubs, If not
their superior, for they fought the bat
tie with credit. Although the Panolas
were victorious, they had nothing to
boast OF.
This was our first visit to this beau
tiful village, stranger among strang-

a PLEASURE s O

Great Falls is destined to become
one of the most popular resorts of the
tourist and pleasure-seaker in the
west, second only to the far-famed
National park The mighty falls of
the Missouri and the Giant Spring, a
series of wonders in nature rarely
found clustered together, will attract
tourists from far and near when the
railroad renders them accessible, and
their attractions are made known to
the world. The visitor to the Nation
al park will not be content to leave
the mountains without making the
trip over the Montana Central,
through the picturesque Prickley
Pear canyon to the beautiful city of
Great Falls and the grand sataractsof
the Missouri near by. On the COM

pIetiol of the Manitoba and Montana
Central railroads this trip will be
popularized and during the season
every possible accommodation for
the reception and comfort of guests
will be provided, including the best
hotel accommodations in the west
something already, attained) and all
other conyeniences that could be
wished. In addition to the view of
these c~ataracts in their primitive
state, very much as they presented
themselves to the astonished vision
Of Lewis and Clarke nearly a century
ago, the visitor may see, within a
year, the Black Eagle falls in subjec-
ton to man,as it were, and made to do
his bidding in turning the wheels OF
commerce and mandatory.
But besides these great natural at
fractions, Great Falls, per Sc, will
hold out the greatest possible induce
ments to the pilgrim and pleasure
seeker. It is generally admitted that
its location is the most beautiful in
the northwest; its drives and sur
roundings are attractive in the ex-
IRENE; its broad river is one Of the
p~leasantest bodies of water in the
territory for aquatic sports; it's peo-
pie are hospitable and ever ready to
welcome the coming and speed the
parting guest"
1t is safe to assume that no town in
Montana offers greater attractions as
a summer resort, and the time is near
at hand when Great Falls will be as
famous as a watering place" as for
its great manufacturing and CONNER
cial enterprises.
